When a Male's Had Enough!

Heard my first cuckoo of the year this morning.
I saw a pair of swallows yesterday flying over the river Ure at Wensley, never seen them so early, and a Ring Ouzel on shunner fell today
A swan sitting on no less than nine eggs in the middle of a disused section of the Bury-Bolton-Manchester canal - actually, I suppose it was standing on the edge of the nest, otherwise I wouldn't have seen the eggs.
A barn owl hunting over the fields below our office window in broad daylight this morning. Wonder if it has young to feed.
The sand martins are back in the dale :thumbup:
Poacher turned game-keeper
I saw a red kite flying among the rooks in a field near the Drovers' Inn at Dallowgill. That's the first time I've seen them this close to Masham. I normally see them near Pool or close to Harewood.
'The birds are the keepers of our secrets'
At least 3 white hares up on Strines and Derwent edge today, along with 3 hawk like birds (at a distance and my lenses were acting up) and 3 large grey and white geese. Oh, and absolutely no people except for on the road :-)
I heard a woodpecker tap tap tapping inside a hollow split mature silver birch in the woods below the War memorial at Pecket Well(!). I waited for it to show itself and was about to give up when a squirrel jumped into the top of the tree. The tap tap tapping stopped and out flew a green woodpecker.
A deer in Cleatops wood - well two in fact but only managed to get a picture of one....
